December 10th was a Saturday. I took my admission ticket and lined up to enter an affiliated primary school.
This classroom really has a sense of the times.
But what caught my eye more were the candidates in this classroom. Some looked to be in their thirties, and some were only sixteen or seventeen years old. When I entered the examination room just now, I heard one candidate calling another candidate teacher.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were not in the same examination room. Fourth Master sent Lin Yutong into the examination room and he left.
Lin Yutong took a deep breath. From nine to eleven in the morning, the exam was politics, and from one-thirty to three-thirty in the afternoon, the exam was physics and chemistry. The two subjects were combined for two hours.
In the morning, she filled in everything she had memorized without missing a word. Of course, she didn’t dare not fill in the questions that she really didn’t know. This was called being unpolitical. Therefore, she would excerpt from the chapters she had memorized.
Write out the content related to this topic. Don’t write any extra words.
Physics and Chemistry were fairly easy and simple, with few questions. After answering the questions, I checked them twice and handed in the paper.
But when we arrived outside the classroom, we still didn’t see Fourth Master. Could it be that he hadn’t finished yet?
Then she suddenly realized that with the temperament of the fourth master, he would definitely not be able to hand in the paper in advance. He was serious and stupid, and would not come out until the bell rang for handing in the paper.
Sure enough, I stood outside in the wind and snow and waited for nearly forty minutes. When the bell rang, the Fourth Master came out with the crowd.
Then, I was criticized for my non-serious attitude.
"You still have to try your best when a lion fights a rabbit." After arriving home, Fourth Master scolded him. Outside, he was usually very good at saving face for others.
Lin Yutong almost said, "I would like to accept my instruction."
After working on it for half a day, I finally passed the test.
The two rested early in the evening, and the child slept in the main room.
The next morning, it was math first. Lin Yutong answered the questions smoothly, and it took less than forty minutes to finish. She checked three times and felt that she was right. But she insisted on not leaving the examination room. First, she was afraid of Fourth Master
She said that the second reason was that it felt cold outside, so she wandered around in the examination room.
The invigilator looked at her back and forth several times, but Lin Yutong didn't notice it.
Fourth Master praised her for persisting to the end. The two of them did not go back to eat at noon because they were too pressed for time. Most of them took the steamed buns and nibbled away their lunch. While eating, they read books.
.Basically unable to see the answer.
There was no place to eat in front of the school, but there was a hospital with a canteen. Just like yesterday, the two of them ran to the hospital and bought hospital meals to make ends meet.
The afternoon test is Chinese. This is also the last test.
She sat in the examination room and took a deep breath. The test questions were not difficult, but they were not easy either. The phonetic notation and analysis of sentence components were not difficult. Lin Yutong certainly did not find the classical Chinese essay difficult for her. The really difficult question was composition.
.
Composition - In this year of fighting.
This year, she has been raising children. What else has she done? She can’t write a parenting diary.
In the end, she started from the perspective of a mother, giving birth to three children on the night of the earthquake. After going through the disaster, she ushered in the beginning of a new life, and then slowly laid her eyes on the jujube tree in the yard.
The jujube tree, which had been dormant for ten years, was full of vitality. Buds appeared in spring, flowers bloomed in summer, and fruits were produced in autumn. Then there were the old man lying on the rocking chair under the tree, the children playing in the yard, and...
There was a mother standing under the tree, looking up at the jujube tree.
After leaving the examination room, Fourth Master asked her, and she recited the article she had written.
Fourth Master said yes. He used the jujube tree as a metaphor for the country's transformation, full of vitality, stability and peace.
Even if it's not the best, it's not far behind.
When the two went home, the old man wanted to ask, but he didn't ask. Life at home was still the same.
It wasn't until after New Year's Day, in January, that the list of people who would undergo physical examinations and political examinations was announced. The results were not announced. No one knew how many points they scored. The fourth master's name was placed closer to the front, and Lin Yutong was slightly further back.
But I don’t know if this is ranking based on performance or something else.
But if you can get to the next stage, you must have passed the test.
Next is the physical examination. Each person takes a sheet. Lin Yutong's body must be fine, but what is embarrassing is that the surgical examination requires stripping off.
After coming out, Fourth Master asked with a dark face: "Is there a male doctor inside?"
Lin Yutong shook his head. That was called playing hooligan. Even if he asked the male doctor to go, no one would dare to go.
Seeing that Fourth Master's face improved, Lin Yutong asked belatedly: "Is there a female doctor over there?"
The fourth master nodded as if nothing had happened, and then said: "It's okay, I don't even look at it carefully."
How else to look carefully? You are not afraid of getting needle holes.
In fact, once you enter with a dozen or so people, you can just take a quick glance. But even so, it must be embarrassing for these grown men.
Finally, there is the form for the political review.
The educated youth files of these two people are conclusive, and they are from the working class.
The argument at this time is not componentialism. It means that we cannot just look at the components.
But again, you have to look at the ingredients.
After that, it was time to fill in the application form. I had already filled in the B major. But for the major, there was no application guide at this time. I didn’t even know how to get admitted. I was blinded by the quality of my grades and the cutoffs.
So, Fourth Master filled in physics for him and biology for Lin Yutong.
At this time, the medical school had not yet merged into University B. If I wanted to be in the same school, I had to give up.
Then at the end, I filled in the major that I would like to be assigned.
For Fourth Master, he is interested in all the majors here. It really doesn’t matter what he studies.
It seemed to him that his future work would be incompatible with his major.
Lin Yutong acquiesced. If science could be transferred to liberal arts, she would rather study Chinese.
Chinese is a very popular major in this era. The key is to be relaxed.
It wasn't until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month that I received two telegrams. The fourth master was admitted to the Department of Economics, and Lin Yutong was admitted to the Department of Mathematics.
This preparation is completely confusing.
But Lin Yutong was actually relieved. For those who have studied advanced mathematics, it is not that difficult to learn it again.
It's great to be relaxed.
Anyway, in the words of the fourth master, if done well, it can provide a relatively better family environment for the children. Whether a family is living well depends not only on whether it is rich in material materials, but also on social status and so on.
This is a great happy event. Not only Yin Changtian is happy, but the Lin family is also very happy.
Second sister Lin is just a little bit sour. She used to think it was good that she found a worker, peasant, and soldier college student. But now she feels a little uncomfortable.
However, Lin Yutong received two telegrams. One was from Bai Xiaomei, hoping that he could pick her up. The other was from Captain Li, saying that Li Guofang was coming to the capital with his child.
Based on time, we should be on the same train as Bai Xiaomei.
Li Guofang was coming, and he was bringing his children with him. But the telegram reached him. So, where is Ge Hongbing?
Lin Yutong sighed, hoping that she really had no regrets.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yutong and Si Ye received three people.
Before he had time to speak, he led the person to the yard where he bought his house.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong asked when he saw that these people were smiling reluctantly.
She looked at Li Guofang, waiting for her to say.
Li Guofang put the child on the bed, then smiled reluctantly and said: "The Red Soldier has been admitted to the Agricultural University. She received the notice two days ago and returned to the capital."
"Then what?" Lin Yutong asked.
"After he left, I discovered the money and food stamps he left behind." Li Guofang whispered, "I know he will not come back."
Lin Yutong looked at Li Guofang, "Then what do you want? Find him?"
"Don't think about me and the child! Don't even think about it." Li Guofang's face showed persistence, "I want to find their leader, fire him, and ask him to go back with me."
"Then what?" Lin Yutong looked at Li Guofang, "Can he still live a good life with you?"
Li Guofang stopped talking. The previously strong girl was now haggard and out of shape.
Lin Yutong looked at the child on the bed, who was just over half a year old. He really didn't know how he got here.
"You rest first. Let's talk about this slowly." Lin Yutong turned around and looked at Bai Xiaomei, who was wandering away from home with her child in her arms.
Bai Xiaomei didn't apply for the exam because of her child. However, Cheng Hao was admitted to the Normal University. But once Cheng Hao left, what would Bai Xiaomei do with her child? She couldn't stay in the company. When she got to the capital, her parents-in-law's family had no place to stay.
Cheng Hao can still go to the school dormitory, but what about Bai Xiaomei? What about Cheng Gensheng?
"Where is he? Where should I and the child be? The family cannot be separated!" Bai Xiaomei was very determined on this matter and could not be questioned.
Cheng Hao spoke indirectly from outside: "You and your children are in the company first. I've figured out a way here. Why don't you bring you back? Now the company is not busy yet. Give me a month to allow me to do it."
Think of a way."
"After one month, it will be two months, and then it will be three months... endless..." Bai Xiaomei looked down at the child, "I sleep on the road outside, but I have to stay here, where can I
I won’t go either.”
Cheng Hao wiped away his tears and said, "Forget it, just visit relatives. I don't want to study in this university anymore."
Bai Xiaomei said nothing and looked at him.
Cheng Hao glared, "Okay! Don't cry. I thought about it on the way. Let's think of a way first. If there is really no way, forget it. I know that I have nothing to do with university in this life."
They are all indescribable household chores.
Lin Yutong placed the three people in this small courtyard first, and the two women took their children to sleep inside. Cheng Hao could also sleep outside on the floor.
The next day, when Fourth Master and Lin Yutong packed up some food and sent them over, Bai Xiaomei left a letter and took her children back to Northeast China.
Cheng Hao shook his head and said, "I'm going home to see if I can let my family come up with a solution... But with her temper, she really doesn't wait for a moment." As he said that, he took the luggage.
"What are you?" Fourth Master asked.
"Go back to the company!" Cheng Hao smiled helplessly, "I'd better wait for Cheng Gen to grow up before attending this university. He will never be so lucky in this life."
Cheng Hao gave up going to college and stayed with Bai Xiaomei and her children. Two years later, he wrote a letter saying that they were recruiting workers to go to the arsenal in the northwest. Later, Cheng Gensheng was admitted to a university in Beijing and went abroad to study for a doctorate.
Finally, he returned to his parents' side and became a teacher at a university not far from home.
